INTRODUCTION

SECTION 2 - INSTALLING ADAPTER CARDS
INTRODUCTION
NOTE:
The instructions in this section apply to AT-type computers
ONLY. AT-type computers are 80286, 80386, 80486 and Pentium
based IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
PC HARDWARE INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Every time you use a PC and install utility cards in the slots
provided, you run the risk of conflicts with the hardware.
NOTE:
It is critical that you understand your hardware. We recom-
mend you to have a list of the interface cards and other devices as
well as the interrupts and memory locations used by each. This
information is needed during Startup as you are configuring each
node.
HARDWARE SETTINGS
Many of the cards you insert in your computer's expansion
slots require hardware settings. These settings are:
ROM addresses
I/O port addresses
Interrupts
DMA channels
Settings are usually selected using jumper pins or dipswitches
on the interface card.
The settings you make for each adapter card must not conflict
with the settings on any other card.
Follow Tables 2-1 through 2-4 to choose the settings for the
adapter cards of commonly installed peripherals.
WARNING
Always turn off power to the computer and disconnect the
power cord when inserting adapter cards in your computer.
CAUTION
Always wear a conductive groundstrap when handling adapter
cards to prevent damage to components by electrostatic dis-
charge.
